About Us

Acoustic Guitar is a family of print magazines,
e-newsletters, digital services, and books for every player in any
style, and the Acoustic Guitar Club, the national membership
organization for guitar enthusiasts. Founded in 1990, Acoustic
Guitar magazine won the coveted 'Maggie' Award as the Best New
Consumer Magazine of the year, and quickly established itself as
the leading magazine for all acoustic guitar players, from
beginners to performing professionals. In 1995, AcousticGuitar.com was established as the online
companion to Acoustic Guitar.

Through interviews, reviews, workshops, sheet music, and song
transcriptions, members of the Acoustic Guitar community
learn guitar techniques and music from around the globe and get to
know the artists who create it. With product reviews and expert
advice, Acoustic Guitar also helps its community members
become smarter buyers and owners of acoustic guitars and related
gear.

Acoustic Guitar is published by String Letter Publishing,
established in 1985, and headquartered in San Rafael, California.
String Letter Publishing also publishes guitar instruction books
under the Acoustic Guitar Private Lessons imprint and
reference and how-to books under the Backstage Books
imprint, along with Strings magazines, for players of bowed
stringed instruments, and a related line of instructional materials
and sheet music under the Strings Charts imprint.
